A gritty, unflinching saga, it concerns a working-class American couple, Ed (Covert ) and Kim) (Jennifer Kern), reduced to desperate measures to stay afloat in the brutal city of Chicago. Ed - a police detective estranged from the Chicago PD - runs security for Mafia-operated strip clubs to generate extra cash, while Kim operates a video store in the local neighborhood. Financial hardship creates added emotional strain and drives husband and wife beyond the point of no return, but disaster strikes when members of Ed and Kim's family decide to steal cash-filled safes from the couple that just happen to belong to the mafia - and draw a maelstrom of violence that will change the couple's lives forever.
